Brown roof - rusted roof - is the best indicator of a slum.

vankelvin:
They have no idea.

They are mistaking brown roofs for slums.
Just take the cameras down and you will notice central Accra looks better than their Eastlight/Langata or whatever they call these places

Mombasa that receive direct flights from Europe -and it one world biggest tourist destination you got jokes. Mombasa receive cruise ships. Mombasa is one world resort cities.

Vlain:
Right after u demolish Mombasa

You have no sewage system. What you have are trucks that suck feacal matters from overfilled cesspool and take it to Altantic Ocean - or if you can afford to a few treatment plants.

A sewerage system, or wastewater collection system, is a network of pipes, pumping stations, and appurtenances that convey sewage from its points of origin to a point of treatment and disposal.

Just30:
my sewage system is better than the pit latrines you operate in kenya.

Demolish the entire city

vankelvin:
This is also the Takoradi Market circle which the first phase has been awarded on contract.
The first phase is the round market in the middle after that the stores around will be demolished to pave way for the second phase.

Bonobo with small ambition and no sewage system.

The entire Accra CMB area is more developed than most of Nairobi.

The area has underground storm drains, tarred roads, stable electricity and water supply.

The listed above will hardly be found anywhere in Kenya.

The madness continues.

Just30:
Nairobi and Mombasa are slums with few good areas.

Ghanaian cities do not just spring up, they are planned settlements with proper service delivery.

That's is why they are so much better.

Just one project - out of gazillion that are moving on in Nairobi? I know you're hoping Kenya can go into economic recession like Nigeria. It's never gonna happen. You know why it's NON_MINERAL WELL DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY.

Same ol’ noise. U dug an open pit in upper hill which apparently does nothing other than breeding mosquitoes and at risk of pulling nearby pulling down due to its depth. Heck that place should be on UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE so Atleast u can monetize the depth of the mosquito breeding pit u dug - i for once would to include that pit on my bucket list imagine me write in front that pit- looking down on it and laughing controllably at a pit that was supposed to house africa tallest 70 flrs

Lol this ugatuzi has already joined the list they steal ur tax - lol what is pension that can’t be stolen - consider Kenyatta’s announcement on this wet pipe dream as him having fun on media tour with discipline around collectively deceiving brain dead gullible idiots like u.

Kibera is 5kM square - you do realize that - assuming it has sanitation problem - I think it mostly fixed.
Now GHANA is 4th dirtiest in Africa - and 2nd in open defecation.

These are FACTS - not idle statements.

FACTS

Ghana has been ranked second after Sudan in Africa for open defecation, with almost 5 million Ghanaians not having access to any toilet facility

“Accra has become the dirtiest city I think in the whole of West Africa,” he said in a live video encounter with Ghanaians on Monday, stressing that ...

vankelvin:
Stop shifting the goal post.
Nobody, I mean no Ghanaian has said there isn't any open defecation happening in some parts of the country but to say Kibera nation is cleaner than Ghana is just like saying kisimu is developed than Nairobi? It doesn't make sense.
Open defecation in Ghana is on the minimal, not a common practice.

When we talk of open defecation Kenya is the headquarters.

And in terms of sanitation Ghana is far better than Kenya.

Nairobi and Mombasa has dirty areas (slums)
Ghana cities have clean areas (Informal settlement exceed formal settments by far)
There is big difference in those two statements.

noise maker


The fact that Mombasa and Nairobi are filthy slumpolis does not mean everywhere on the continent is.

Property appreciation is not a fault - it's a great thing. It discourage the city from sprawling endlessly like you find in Nigeria. Nairobi you gotta build up. You have to build high rises. You can still find cheap house - for any rental prices - and for purchasing.

Everywhere you go there is TO LET sign - and we don't pay for 2 yr rent deposit - or worse build the house for the landlord so we can stay in it.

Vlain:
And who’s fault is that for raise the prices of people farms and cattle kraal land. Not forget how they are forcefully stolen by big dogs in politics - talk of moi,Kenyatta, Kibaki and the rest.

Ghana Capital - Kumasi . Sister city to Ibandan in Nigeria.

show me the 80B dollar budget; the fact that you're in this thread and feel really threaten by kenya pics -is testament that you care.

AfriqueDuZuid:
The other day Randlord posted pictures of Mhlanga he did not have latest pictures or videos of it

Reason is that construction is not something new to us, it does not fascinate us we used to it. South Africans do not see need to show it.

That's why I volunteered to show you menlyn from my lens

Says who? Put links to credible report.

Durban has a construction budget? or JUST RENDERS you keep pasting here.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Durban construction budget is bigger than entire Kenya

Of course New York is dead city construction wise - all the activity is in ASIA - and Kenya - and maybe Egypt/Ethiopia. Joburg and South Africa construction boom ended with in 2010 when the VUVUZELAs stopped blowing.

AfriqueDuZuid:
You know you should ridiculous right

In your mind new York is dead because it was not in the top 50 most dynamic cities

Nairobi- Upper hill Viaduct and interchange constructions start. It meats with Nairobi expressway at two interchanges. Nairobi nearly fixing the major roads - a few remain

Well, Nairobi is not a dead city like joburg, it world sixth most dynamic city, meaning there is construction everywhere, and most people build highrises - so many units - take care of land prizes.

Ultimately most people buy such houses, demolish them and build multi-unit - or wait until the zoning laws allow it.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Its overpriced I must say

You think the house in that compound was demolished by hands. Ugatuzi - 50 floors - that is causing stomach upset - is on site preparation - next will be excavation. Remember there is no funding probem - because the pension fund is behind it.

Congratulations u wasted 10 minutes of my time patiently waiting to see construction activity yet not a single machine site. Heck not even a human being save the dude behind that camera.

Give up alto easy . This is just as dead as every carrot talk from jomo’s descendants

What kind of nonsense are talking about.
Mombasa already handles more than 1.5M TEUS - this year it will probably close at 1.6m - and 40M tonnes. Mombasa I think is now 4th.
Durban is 3rd in Africa handling 2.7M TEUS - and about 75M tonnes.
TIN CAN and APAPA - struggle each to get 600,000 TEUS - combined 1.1 TEUS.

Meanwhile LAMU port start operation in June this year.

Nobody really care about tiny ports - we got them in Kenya too.

68816419:
Keep dreaming man, only Apapa port handles more than the Mombasa port., Apapa port can handle a volume of 1,500,000 TEU containers processed while Mombasaport can only handle a volume of 1,189,000 TEU , don't forget that Apapa port serves less than 25% of Nigeria demands , while Mombasa port serves all East Africa’s needs.
Also don't forget Lekki port is currently at 65% completed , Lekki port is to be expanded to have a capacity of handling around 6 million TEUs of containers and a significant volume of liquid and dry bulk uncontainerized cargoes. We also have others ports across the nation.

Land is very expensive in Nairobi. It's not the house.

Kenya has always been the African leader in solar installations - off-grid.

Mombasa port is bigger than port complex Lagos - COMBINED Apapa and Tin Can - for starters - now only 2nd to Port Durban (no 3) in SSA- after being beaten senselessly by Port Tanger in Morroco and Port Said in Egypt.

Nigerians Shun Naira for Foreign Currencies to Store Wealth

Report links currency substitution to Nigeria naira volatility
Nigerians’ use of dollars exceeds IMF’s 30% threshold
Nigerians have been accumulating foreign currencies to protect their wealth from naira volatility and surging inflation, according to a research paper in a journal published by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

“Higher real-exchange rate volatility is associated with an increased level of currency substitution,” central bank economists including Isaiah Ajibola, Sylvanus Udoette, Rabia Muhammad and John Anigwe said in the paper available on the central bank’s website. There is a need to contain “exchange-rate volatility and inflation as a way of curbing the spate of currency substitution in the country,” they said.

One measure of currency substitution, the ratio of foreign cash deposits to naira deposits on demand in the banks exceeded the International Monetary Fund’s 30% threshold from 2009 following the global financial crisis, the researchers said. It hit a peak of 98.2% in 2014 before declining to 83% in 2018. A broader measure of foreign currency in banks to naira savings, demand and term deposits, stayed largely within the IMF limit over the study period from 1995 to 2018.

Africa’s largest economy devalued the local unit twice last year after a crash in the oil price triggered by the coronavirus pandemic hampered revenues. While crude contributes less than 10% to the country’s gross domestic product, it accounts for nearly all foreign-exchange earnings and half of government revenue in the continent’s biggest producer of the commodity.

The naira has lost 66% of its value since 2009 when it exchanged at 149 naira to the dollar. The unit was little-changed at 409.21 naira per dollar at the spot market as of 4:02 p.m. in Lagos on Thursday. Nigeria’s inflation quickened to the highest level in four years in March and is now more than double the 9% limit of the central bank’s target range.

The central bank previously issued a warning to merchants to stop offering local goods in foreign currency and also banned the practice of accessing the foreign-exchange market for settling domestic transactions.

“The key policy implication of currency substitution is that it reduces monetary policy effectiveness,” the researchers said. “Efforts to further diversify the economy should be of paramount interest to boost the base for foreign-exchange earnings.”

It also one of the reason Ghana cannot build highrises...try to build an apartment without sewage connection...you will be calling the honey sucker trucker every week...and it will cost you a lot of money. The soakpit/cesspool will be full every few days...worse if it rains.
